ABOUT FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS

 ABOUT FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS


Feelings and emotions can be really tricky at times, can't they? . Sometimes we feel one 'big' emotion, and at other times it can seem like we feel lots of different, often conflicting emotions all at the one time. Does that ring a bell with you?

Similarly, some feelings and emotions can be a bit easier to cope with than others. Sometimes we try to avoid 'feeling' feelings and do other things to help us cope with emotions. Often the things we do to help us cope with emotions we find difficult, distressful or hard to cope with are unhelpful or unhealthy (e.g. eating, smoking, drinking, self-harm, aggression etc.) and can end up causing us more problems over the long-term.

The picture below illustrates that there are loads of different emotions too, some of which you may or may not be aware of. Emotions are tricky aren't they?

If you are finding coping with emotions difficult or you would like to talk over how you are feeling with a psychotherapist or counsellor, you've come to the right place. We can help you find new, more helpful ways of recognising and coping with your emotions to they don't get to that point of being 'too big' or 'too overwhelming' to cope with.

We are here to listen and support you in an understanding, empathic and non-judgemental way. All our therapists and counsellors are highly qualified, experienced and skilled and they will tailor therapy and counselling to you and your needs and preferences. We go at YOUR pace.

Focus on..... Binge Eating Disorder

  Focus on..... Binge Eating Disorder (BED)   Binge Eating Disorder or BED is often characterised by someone consuming very large amounts of food over short period of time, even if they are not hungry. Although, we often see another form of binge eating that is characterised by an almost constant 'grazing' of food, which may amount to a large volume of food over time. BED is almost 2x as common in women than in men, although gender differences are less pronounced than in Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. BED has been found is all cultures and ethnicities. BED was formally classified in 2014 as distinct Eating Disorder and now has formal classification in DSM-5. Keeping in mind that everyone experiencing BED is different and BED may present differently (we are all different and unique, after all!), some of the signs and symptoms of BED include: * Feeling out-of-control when eating during a binge episode. * Often hiding food (before it has been eaten or hiding empty packets a
